The Project

The FIDO Lab at Georgia Tech researches novel methods of dog-computer interaction. This semester (Spring 2018), I pitched a project researching to what extant Gestalt Principles apply to dogs. The first goal for the semester will be to conduct a literature search of dog perception and dog study design. One particular area of interest is blind and double blind studies since dogs are extremely sensitive to to queuing from their handlers. The next milestone will be to design one or several studies based on that research, concluding with running those studies.
